Management

The Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board

‘Vidyasagar’ Late Principal K. M. Kundnani began his career as a Professor and then
Principal of the D.G. National College in Hyderabad, Sindh in Undivided India.
Caught in the whirlwind of the partition, he came to Mumbai in the hope of resurrecting
not only his career, but also to valiantly fight to rebuild his shattered institution
brick by brick. His concern for hundreds of educators and students from his community
who had fled to Mumbai from Sindh, inspired him to create the Hyderabad (Sind) National
Collegiate Board. He received active support and encouragement from Late Barrister Hotchand
G. Advani. Both of them founded the Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board in 1949.
Both these eminent personalities played a pioneering role in the field of higher education
in Mumbai and Ulhasnagar. Late Barrister Hotchand G. Advani was the founder President and
‘Vidyasagar’ Late Principal K.M. Kundnani was the founder Secretary and founder Principal of
the first college started by the Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board known as the R. D.
National College at Bandra. This was followed by a chain of educational institutions belonging
to various faculties such as Arts, Science, Commerce, Management, Education, Law, Pharmacy,
Engineering and Technology etc.

Today, the HSNC Board manages 27 educational institutes including pre-primary, primary,
secondary and higher secondary schools, polytechnics, degree and post-graduate colleges
with over 1800 staff members, offers education to more than 40,000 students in all faculties
and is the largest educational corpus in Mumbai. The HSNC Board is managed by dedicated team
of professionals led by the dynamic President, Mr. Kishu Mansukhani. Appropriate committees
have been set up to provide a dynamic and vibrant environment to all educational institutes of
the Board. The committees monitor academic standards, organize faculty development programmes.
The HSNC Board also provides international education programmes abroad for its faculty and students
and receives foreign faculty and students in Mumbai.

The HSNC Board has the unique distinction of being the largest group of institutions affiliated
to the University of Mumbai.
